Chapter 160 Preparation (Thanks to the God of Cookery Little Foodie Don’t Call Me Xiaobai 55 for his multiple rewards and monthly tickets)

After seeing the corrupt situation in the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Su Ye picked up the information about the situation in the Dayong Dynasty again.

Inside the current Dayong Dynasty.

In the court, Cao Cao and Sima Yi fought openly and secretly.

The fight between the two was like a duel between two masters; seemingly calm, but actually there were undercurrents.

Now Cao Cao, who has been appointed to the post in times of crisis, is the general who protects the country.

As a result, Sima Yi from the Sima family suddenly appeared in the court with a large group of people to challenge him.

Boss Cao naturally couldn't tolerate this.

He often made trouble in the court, trying to find Sima Yi's weaknesses and take him down in one fell swoop.

Sima Yi always responded calmly, retreated to advance, and resolved the crisis.

He was also secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Cao Cao.

In the court, the competition between the two never stopped.

Cao Cao, who now controls the imperial guards of the Yong Dynasty, is at the peak of his power, but he is also wary of Sima Yi's wisdom.

The struggle between them is not just a personal grudge, but also a contest between two political groups.

In this war without the smoke of gunpowder, whoever has the better skills will be able to control the lifeline of the Yong Dynasty.

In the Great Yong Dynasty, the kings were in rebellion and the country was in turmoil.

Even from outside, Su Ye's Cangzhou Army was advancing towards Qizhou.

The Jiuxiao Army from Yunzhou entered Wenzhou.

It can be said to be internal and external troubles.

At this time, Xun Yu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief from the intelligence from the Dasheng Dynasty, was looking at the information from the Dayong Dynasty in front of him.

He was always known for his calmness, but at this moment, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were scrutinizing every word of the intelligence with a sharp gaze.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, which was his habitual action when thinking. He seemed to be organizing his thoughts in this way.

The content of the intelligence made him feel a little uneasy. The deployment of the Great Yong Dynasty's troops in Wenzhou seemed too calm, which was completely different from the Great Yong he knew.

"Everyone, the intelligence sent by Luowang shows that the recent deployment of troops by the Great Yong Dynasty in Wenzhou has been unusually calm, and can even be said to be relaxed."

"This is completely different from the Wenzhou we knew before, which was well-armed and heavily defended."

Xun Yu spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful.

You should know that Wenzhou is a continent adjacent to Yunzhou.

In order to resist the pressure from the Jiuxiao Army.

Wenzhou has always been the front line in the war with Yunzhou.

The interior is equipped with numerous weapons and troops all year round.

Although the internal finances may be a little worse.

But there is absolutely no problem with the military.

The reason why King Xuan of Wenzhou became one of the weakest vassal kings.

The most important thing is that Wenzhou has sufficient military equipment, but its internal affairs are a mess.

Therefore, King Xuan of Wenzhou was defeated because he could not afford to support so many soldiers.

And not because of his military cooking.

But because he is poor.

But just because he can't afford it doesn't mean others can't.

Xun Yu just didn't believe it.

Regarding so many ready-made combat soldiers in Wenzhou.

Wouldn’t the powerful vassal kings in Dayong be tempted?

Especially located in the south of Wenzhou.

He holds two states and is adjacent to the King of Que, whose territory is the same as Wenzhou.

Guo Jia, who was standing aside, had a sneer on his face, with a sharp light in his eyes, as if he could see into the depths of people's hearts.

As he flipped through the intelligence, he said sarcastically, "It seems that the Great Yong Dynasty wants to give us a surprise."

"Wenzhou is the gateway to Dayong and has always been a battleground for military strategists."

"Now it has suddenly become so quiet, there must be something fishy going on." "In my opinion, this is most likely a maze deliberately set up by the Great Yong Dynasty, intending to lure our army deeper and then suddenly launch a fatal attack."

The other counselors also nodded in agreement. They all knew that in this game of power, there were no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only eternal interests.

The sudden slackness shown by the Dayong Dynasty in Wenzhou was most likely a huge trap, waiting for the Jiuxiao Army to fall into it.

However, there have been constant wars between the Yunzhou Jiuxiao Army and the Dayong Dynasty for hundreds of years.

This is a hostility that has reached the level of a century-long national hatred.

Now there is such a great opportunity.

Even though I know there might be something fishy.

However, the Jiuxiao Army still thinks it is worth a try.

Su Ye listened quietly to everyone's discussion. There was no expression on his face, but his heart was surging.

He was well aware of the extraordinary wisdom of Xun Yu and Guo Jia, and their inferences were not groundless.

The Yunzhou Jiuxiao Army will be his strongest support in the future, and there must not be any mistakes.

"So, in your opinion, how should we respond?"

Su Ye stroked his forehead and asked in a deep voice.

"First, my lord, please send a message to the Jiuxiao Army in Yunzhou immediately, asking them to be vigilant and not be fooled by the false appearance of the Great Yong Dynasty."

"Secondly, Cangzhou should strengthen border patrols with the Great Yong Dynasty and closely monitor their movements to prevent them from launching sudden attacks."

"If there is a change in Dayong Wenzhou, if the Jiuxiao Army fails to react."

"My Cangzhou Army can set out immediately to support the Jiuxiao Army!"

Xun Yu thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

"What Wen Ruo said is absolutely right."

"In addition, we also need to send capable spies to infiltrate Wenzhou, and at the same time let Luowang vigorously infiltrate the Great Yong Dynasty to thoroughly investigate the true intentions of the Great Yong Dynasty."

"Only by having solid intelligence can we formulate more comprehensive response strategies when unexpected events occur in the future."

Guo Jia took a sip of wine and nodded in agreement.

After hearing this, Su Ye was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

The complexity and danger of war are far beyond imagination, and any negligence may lead to a complete loss.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Let's do as you two say."

"I will immediately send a message to the commander-in-chief of the Jiuxiao Army, Wen Zhong, to have them step up their alert and be careful."

"Also, Wen Ruo (Xun Yu), Zhao Xuan Gong (Gao Ying), Bai Shi Gong (Li Shanchang), please organize a new army in Cangzhou."

"Now this newly trained army can head to the border of Cangyun."

"Once the Jiuxiao Army is defeated, immediately enter Dayong to support the Jiuxiao Army!"

Although this move bypassed Su Kai and directly ordered the Jiuxiao Army.

To put it more seriously, it means he is trying to get his hands on military power and plot a rebellion.

A more suspicious prince came instead.

It is possible that he would sever the father-son relationship with Su Ye on the spot.

But Su Ye didn't care.

Su Kai had long wanted to pass the throne to him.

After Su Ye launched a power grab in Cangzhou and easily captured Dongning Pass.

During this period of time, Su Kai has been intentionally or unintentionally transferring the control of the Jiuxiao Army, the Yunwang Mansion and Wuyun to him.

And the current commander-in-chief of the Jiuxiao Army is Wen Zhong.

This old minister who has served the country for three dynasties.

His loyalty is unquestionable.

Therefore, even if Su Ye did not get Su Kai's approval, he could directly order him.

As long as it’s not excessive and doesn’t affect Prince Yun’s Palace.

Wen Zhong will definitely cooperate with Su Ye with all his strength.

Anyway, the Jiuxiao Army will belong to Su Ye sooner or later.

Why divide it so clearly?
